JCHENG SECURITY JC 210ft Infrared Illuminator, 20 LEDs 90 Degree Wide Angle IR Illuminator for Night Vision,Waterproof LED Infrared Flood Light Black

Does a great job illuminating the front garden. Feels well-built.

See the attached image. Ignore the left side, the patio is getting lots of help from other cameras. Look only on the right side of the image. See that round lit up area? That's this lamp. Without this lamp, that spot is essentially pitch black. So the lamp makes it visible. Figure it's shining out about 120-130 feet in this pic. On one hand, it's definitely not a wide angle. The camera is wide angle, and it's mounted right near the light, but the lamp is not nearly as wide angle as the camera. It's only covering about half the camera's field of view, if that. On the other hand, in this particular application, I really only needed help for about half the camera's view. So this lamp worked out perfectly. And it's doing a good job of lighting up a very dark place. Keep in mind, too, that the wider the angle, the less intense the light is going to be. The trade-off this one makes is excellent for what I needed in this spot. I'm very happy with it for that reason. One note on the power for this lamp. I tried to piggy-back off the camera's power, via a 1:2 power splitter, but that didn't work. The lamp would come on just fine. But as soon as it got dark and the camera went into night mode and kicked on it's own LED's, the voltage would drop, which made the camera reset. Which of course made the voltage come back up. Once the camera came back up, it would again try to turn on it's own LED's, and reset again. So it was just caught in a loop of constantly resetting and restarting. But I didn't have AC power handy at this spot, and I didn't really want to run it there. So I tried a 100 foot extension for the 12V power for the lamp. I actually just used an extra camera cord and left the BNC side unused, because it's a lot cheaper than an actual 12V power extension cable. Well, it works just fine. I can detect no difference in the lamp's performance with the long 12V extension, as opposed to running power out to the lamp via an AC extension cord. Running 12V out there was much easier and cheaper and safer, and the lamp performs the same.

Ilumina mucho y con el detector de luz se enciende y se apaga de forma automática. Mucho mejor de lo que me esperaba. No sé si llegará a los metros que marca, yo lo tengo en una finca con varias cámaras, que tuve que anular sus propios infrarrojos, pues se llenaba de tela de araña y me reflejaba el propio infrarrojo que trae y no se veía casi nada, las limpias y al de un par de días estamos igual. En la finca tendré una distancia de unos 35 metros y se ve muy bien.

The device has been active for a week now. I have turned off all camera based IR lighting, and the image is still very crisp in an otherwise pitch black yard. I purchased this to avoid all the reflection of the IR bouncing back off of insects, rain/mist, and pollen in the air, which confuses the camera recognition and causes unnecessary recording. So far, it has remained bright, and turns off at daylight. The installation was easy, provided you removed the mounting bracket first (requires wrench).

Works very well, makes like a cloudy daylight. When angled correctly, all my cameras see very well. Multiple cameras, wired and wireless. A good 50 feet distance before fades.
